1990s France Handcrafted Exotic Fishskin RainHat LeCorre "Luxury Tramp" Fedora

About the Item

With an black exotic fishskin exterior, this Made In France brimmed denim-lined fedora hat that was handcrafted by the acclaimed late French milliner Jacques Le Corre is perfect for rain wear--unlike other textural animal skins. While the malleable like-new hat can be flattened for travel when not worn, the ripply edge of the brim that partly reveals its cotton-denim underside is boned with wire to retain the laid-back slouchy look that characterizes Le Corre's most iconic design of the "chapeau clochard de luxe" (luxury-tramp hat), which he introduced in 1985. Dating back to the 1920s during U.S.-law Prohibition when newspaper-photos of Al Capone famously popularized the Italian fedora, it became the essential accessory in American movies for gangsters and detectives--usually worn with a suit. In more recent times, the late singers Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson made it part of their distinct style. Before launching his own label, Le Corre created hats for the leading European and Japanese designers. As he died in 2010 and his brand continued to produce hats for another decade, those that he made himself in Paris (noted on the hat label) are prized fashion accessories collected by museums like TheMet.
